Re: ASK Campaign

Shouldn't they be against swimming pools, which kill far more children than guns?

Just send them an email.

Just out of my curiosity. Why ask other parents about guns? Why not ask them if they have swimming pool? According to CDC, and I quote: fatal drowning rate, per 100,000 people, for children less than 14 is 3.09% while gun related fatality is 0.61%

Your children are 5 times more likely to be drown in a swimming than being killed by a gun.

Are you guys missing the whole forest by looking at one leaf?
